David Bruce Winery

This winery is a gem. All those poor reviews are all old and mostly customer service related. Their wines are actually pretty good and the staff were all great. They only have 1 set tasting of 5 wines for $15. The pours are really small. Literally 1 sip or 2 small sips per pour. They have a nice variety, but their known for their pinot noir. We all liked 4 out of the 5 wines from the tasting and they let us try an off menu riesling as well which was good too. They waive the tasting fees if you purchase a minimum amount which is the total of your tastings (eg. If you have 3 tastings, spend $45 on bottles to waive them all). Good deal. They don't sell wines by the glass at this time. Venue was nice and they allow outside food.

What a hidden gem. We almost didn't wine taste here because of the reviews on Yelp. But we are glad we did. I called a day before was able to get a Saturday 3pm reservation for an outdoor table. But we ended up getting there at 1:30 and we did most of our tasting indoors. It wasn't that busy so we were ok being indoors at the time. It was foggy so they put most of the tables away. We had to wait until the people sitting outdoors was done. People started trickling in when we got to the 4th wine. $15 for 5 wines. We loved the Chardonnay, Pinot noir saignee, Pinot noir Lucia, and Reisling. The Riesling was quite dry and fruity. They make 100% varietals. No blends. Linda and Sonia were really nice. Linda was really knowledgeable. The pours weren't generous but we got to revisit a couple of wines before we purchased 2 bottles. Our Tasting fee was waived if you make the total tasting fee minimum. We asked about the wine membership. It's 12 bottles a year and you get to pick any wine you like and it's 20% discount on top of it. Free tasting for membership and their significant other only. 20% off bottles. No glasses of wine yet. The winery is pretty. Some picture worthy areas. You can bring a picnic since they have no food.

If you are Industry Do Not Go to this winery, unless you are Ok with only 10% discount on wine purchases, for a minute I thought she was going to try and charge me for my tasting, Industry Standard is 30 % also you cannot buy a glass of wine and hangout, Very limited seating outside too..Wine was yummy, Linda was Nice but 10% for Fellow Industry, come on !

such nice winery with spectacular service! The Chardonnay and the Rose had been my best choice. i do not trust rieslings, but here it kicks off any Gewürztraminer. Beautiful quiet winery.

If you're looking for the best tasting wine, friendly staff, and an amazing view....come to David Bruce Winery! I've been a club member for about 5 years and enjoyed every visit, every tasting, and every Holiday party. David Bruce himself is present quite often to meet his many wine fans. All of the staff is tremendously accommodating and knowledgeable about the wine served. They are very cheerful in opening different bottles outside of the tasting menu and are quite generous with pours! Even on off days, the staff is considerate enough to change their schedules at the last minute to accommodate any private tastings. Linda, especially is the best! She not only remembers our names but what we talked about from the previous interactions making our visits that much more special. The other best thing besides the wine at David Bruce Winery is the tastings are free! Did I say the tastings are FREE?!!! Yes! Trust me....you will always leave with bottles or cases! You just can't help it and will crave for more the moment you drive off! Love this place and love their wine!!!

After getting a late start on our way to David Bruce, we also got a little lost up in the mountains finding our way to the winery. Long story short, we arrived fifteen minutes before they closed for the day. No matter. The staff was friendly, helpful and courteous, and we managed to taste six wines - all quite good - before we let their folks go home. We ended up purchasing a half case, to give as gifts and enjoy for our personal use. (The wines made the journey back to Atlanta, safely ensconced in our checked luggage.)The tasting room is spotlessly clean, and the surrounding outdoor area offers stunning views. I highly recommend checking out this winery if you're in the area. Added bonus, it's only a short drive to Los Gatos, where you can enjoy your wine at many of the local restaurants for a small corkage fee.

Team David Bruce,Very disappointing 60th anniversary event. Wow... James at the main room was the only saving grace to a day of disorganization, chaos and an ill-planned event. You shared wine that was NOT for sale (really ??-lost $$$) and 15 min was spent finding a glass. Unfortunate to drive up the hill to such a disaster. I feel terrible for you to have such great Pinot and see that you have veered off and lost your roots.So sorry to see such a great winery fall. Good luck and cheers. Consider reassigning your event planner.In total disappointment... best regards. Sent from my iPhone

David Bruce was open on Friday and we waited 15 minutes inthe lobby and almost left.We were served old flat whites and a corked Pinot Noir which was supposed to be their flagship.The lady that served us was sick and coughing the whole time, and appearedto have an eye infection.She smelled the bottle and said, "Yes, it does smell corked".She proceeded to charge for the tasting of old white wine from the previousweekend and the corked wine.A terrible experience since we used to be wine club members.

David Bruce is worth the visit. Plenty of outdoor seating & parking. There are gazebos with benches to sit under, as well. Kid and dog friendly. Only open Saturdays and Sundays. Very hard to get ahold of to make a reservation. Left multiple emails and phone calls, so my husband and I decided to just show up, and we were able to taste. David Bruce is known for their Pinot Nior, but they also make a fantastic Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Tastings are $12 per person.

I went to visit David Bruce Winery with my family and was very disappointed. The staff were rude and distant - they do not treat customers like people, rather it felt very transactional. The selection of Red Wine we picked out also left a lot to be desired. It took them over 15 minutes to pour and there were pieces of wood in the glass. When I asked to speak to the Owner/Manager, they were nowhere to be found. There are far better options in the South Bay. Do not recommend..
